What It Takes

(G)There goes my old girlfriend,

there's (D)another diamond ring.

And, uh, (Em)all those late night (D)promises (C)I guess they don't mean a thing.

So (G)baby, what's the story?

Did (D)you find another man?

Is it (Em)easy to sleep in the bed that we (D)made?

When you (C)don't look back, I guess the feelings start to fade (D)away.

I (G)used to feel your fire,

but now it's (Em)cold inside.

(D)And you're (C)back on the street like you didn't miss a beat,

yeah. (Bb)Tell me what it takes to let you (F)go.

(Bb)Tell me how the pain's supposed to (F)go.

(Bb)Tell me how it (Aaug)is that you can (Dm)sleep in the night without (Bm7)thinking you lost ev'rything that was good in your life to the toss of the dice?

(Bb)Tell me what it (Db)takes to let you go.

(F)Yeah. (G)Girl, before I met you I was (D)FINE,

fine. But your (Em)love made me a (D)prisoner,

(C)yeah, my heart's been doing time.

You (G)spent me up like money,

then (D)you hung me out to dry.

It was (Em)easy to keep all your lies in (D)disguise,

'cause you (C)had me in deep with the devil in your eyes.

(Bb)Tell me what it takes to let you (F)go.

(Bb)Tell me how the pain's supposed to (F)go.

(Bb)Tell me how it (Aaug)is that you can (Dm)sleep in the night without (Bdim7)thinking you lost ev'rything that was good in your life to the toss of the dice?

(Bb7)Tell me what it (Db)takes to let you go.

(F)Guitar!

(C)Tell me that you're happy that you're on your (G)own.

Yeah yeah.

(Bb)Yeah, tell me that it's better when you're all (F)alone.

(Fm)Tell me that your body doesn't (Eb)miss my (Db)touch.

Tell me that my lovin' didn't mean that (Ab)much.

Tell me you ain't dyin' when you're cryin' for (C)me.

(Bb)Tell me what it takes to let you (F)go.

(Bb)Tell me how the pain's supposed to (F)go.

(Bb)Uh, tell me how it (Aaug)is that you can (Dm)sleep in the night without (Bm7)thinkin' you lost ev'rything that was good in your life to the toss of the dice?

(Bb)Tell me who's to (Db)blame for thinkin' twice,

(F)no no no no, (Bb)'cause I don't wanna (Db)burn in paradise.

(F)Oo.

(Bb)Let go.

Let go.
